Junior School
At Northside Christian College's Junior School, one size does not fit all. Each student is catered for as an individual, recognising their differing strengths and ability to perform and achieve across subject areas and school activities.
Our Junior School is divided into two age groups:
- Lower Primary School (Preparatory - Year 2)
- Upper Primary School (Years 3 - 6)
Lower Primary School focuses on exposing children to experiences and immersing them in an environment that stimulates curiosity and wonder about their world, their God, and the people around them.
In Upper Primary School, the focus changes to developing mastery of skills and strategies to enable students to learn effectively and develop wholesome and God-honouring relationships while working towards independence.
In class, differentiated activities and assessments cater for advanced levels of thinking.

Faith
As our youngest students begin their faith journey, we provide opportunities to start and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Students attend a fortnightly chapel; in addition, prayer, devotions and learning about the events in the Bible are the norm in our classrooms. Students also learn scripture as a part of the memory verses program. Read more.
